THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF 
THE BRITISH ISLES. 
REGULATIONS, &c. 
Objects. — The objects of the Club are to facilitate the ex- 
change of dried specimens of British Plants, and to stimulate 
the study of critical species and varieties. But in addition it 
offers the advantage of intercourse between British Botanists, and 
encourages the interchange of ideas. It may be found desirable 
to extend the scope of the Club at some future time. 
The Annual ‘ Report ’ contains the opinions of specialists 
on the more interesting and critical plants contributed for ex- 
change, and also notices of the chief additions to the ^British 
Flora’ during the year, and of recent publications of importance 
relating to British Botany. 
Membership. — The membership is open to all botanists. 
Members who contribute dried specimens receive others in ex- 
change. The annual subscri|)tion for such members is ys. 6 d., 
including three copies of the ‘Report.’ Non-contributing mem- 
bers, who receive two copies of the ‘ Report,’ pay 5^. per annum. 
They may send in a single specimen as a voucher for an addition 
to the county in which it was gathered, or for the purpose of 
its being correctly identified. Subscriptions are due on January i 
in each year, and should be paid to the Treasurer, G. Claridge 
Druce, Yardley Lodge, 9 Crick Road, Oxford. 
Regulations. — Specimens must be carefully selected and well 
dried (bad specimens will be destroyed), and must not exceed 
18 by II inches. Not less than ten sheets of each plant should 
be sent. No specimens should be gathered of any plant the 
existence of which might thereby be endangered or materially 
harmed. Each sheet should adequately represent the species. 
Every sheet must have a clearly printed, typed, or written label, 
bearing the name of the plant, collector, habitat, locality, date, 
and county or vice-county in which it was collected. Also a 
reference number relative to the special gathering is very desirable
